"I want to hold a big tournament this autumn." In Buinsky District, the dream of Ayrat Siraziev, a participant in the special military operation, was fulfilled by his colleagues, parents and friends (photo).
A hockey tournament in memory of Ayrat Siraziev, a participant in the special military operation, was held at the Arktika sports palace in Buinsky District. He himself had both played and coached on that ice.
Each of the six teams taking part in the tournament was connected to Ayrat. The first team, "Arktika" (players born 2008–2010), was raised by Ayrat Siraziev; the coach taught them to play hockey. Players recalled: "We must win! That's what Ayrat Rinatovich used to say." The second team was "Graduates of Arktika." Its roster included boys who learned to play hockey at the palace under Ayrat's guidance. The team "Bua. Friends" consisted of those who, together with Ayrat Siraziev, had been coming to the palace since childhood. Each of them cherishes warm memories of the hockey player. "We told Ayrat: 'You will become a coach.' We always had confidence in Ayrat, whether as a player or a goalkeeper. We believe that he was just as precise and reliable in the special military operation. He is always, as if, among us. We miss him very much," they shared. His brother Almaz Sirazev also grew up playing hockey on this team. He now lives in the Moscow Region and works as a coach.
The fourth team, "Apasovo," was led by the director of the Apasovo ice palace, Irek Yarakhanov. Irek Vazyhovich believes that participating in such games is an act of patriotism. Since he himself had worked at the Arktika ice palace, he had known Ayrat Siraziev since childhood both as a player and as a coach.
The teams "Strela-Kazan" and "Kazantsy" came from Kazan; Ayrat Siraziev once played for them himself.
The tournament was opened by the head of the executive committee of Buinsky District, Lenar Shakirzyanov. He expressed a wish that the competitions organized in memory of the valiant countryman become a tradition. He wished health to Ayrat Siraziev’s parents, Rinat and Vasilya, and expressed gratitude for raising a son ready to defend the Motherland.
Their father, Rinat Siraziev, himself had played hockey with his sons and today played as part of one of the teams. During his last visit, his son told his father about his dream to organize a tournament with everyone. "Ayrat dreamed of organizing such a game. Each time he returned on leave, he hurried to the palace. He said: 'In the special military operation I often remember how I played on the ice; I want to chase the puck.' But he was not destined to see this himself. We express our enormous gratitude to the organizers and participants who brought our son's dream to life," he said.
That day his beloved, his comrades-in-arms with whom he served together in the area of the special military operation, and their families also cheered on the game. Each shared memories of our brave countryman.
The director of the Arktika ice palace, Gumer Akhmetzyanov, emphasized that the hockey players who had come through Ayrat Siraziev's school remain the best to this day. "We miss him very much at every game, thinking: 'Ayrat would have acted like this,' 'Ayrat wouldn't have missed that moment.' Rest in peace, you are always in our hearts," he said.
In the competition, first place was taken by the "Arktika" team (players born 2008–2010), second by "Bua. Druzhba," and third by the "Apastovo" team. The challenge cup was presented to the winning team. The prize-winning teams were awarded medals and certificates. And Ayrat’s parents, Rinat and Vasilya Siraziev, presented each participating team with a cup in memory of Ayrat Siraziev as a token of participation in the tournament.
